  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

Hi! My name is Skye and I provide tarot readings that are fun, insightful, and energize the social atmosphere. My tarot readings have been featured in The Washington Post, Axios, WTOP, and The Washingtonian. I view tarot as an engaging and creative tool for self reflection and guidance. I am proud to have collaborated with Netflix, Warner Bros., Pendry Washington DC, Dauphine’s and many couples to provide tarot readings for their wedding day!

Skye was such a joy to have at our wedding and our guests LOVED it — they were literally lining up for readings. She was extremely professional and brought her own set-up (all we had to provide was a table!) It was a great way to give our guests something to do besides dancing and gave everyone a lot to talk about during the reception. Skye is also an excellent tarot reader: smart, emphatic, and sensitive. I would highly recommend their services.

I'm the founder and lead photographer here at RM Photography CO! When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me with sand in my shoes, a golf club in hand, or with my dog Milo riding shotgun. I’m a big believer in slow mornings, spontaneous road trips, and soaking up time with the people who matter most. Whether it’s a beach day, a quiet walk by the river, or just hanging out with friends and family, those little everyday moments are everything to me — and they're a big part of why I do what I do.

RM Photography CO was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with them, we were impressed by their open, reliable, and flexible communication style. They took the time to understand our vision and were genuinely people-oriented and friendly throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, their professionalism shone through as they maneuvered the venue with ease, using creative angles and elements to capture the stunning, warm, joyful, and radiant moments of our special day. They even stole Trey and I away for a few moments to take couple photos, making it a fun and quick experience. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend RM Photography CO to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

BATHrooms On A Roll is a woman veteran owned small business. My husband and I got married on the beautiful Eastern Shore and struggled with finding a restroom trailer company that would travel to our location or wouldn't be an eye sore. Even signing a contract, we were delivered the wrong trailer and unable to make any changes. Having the last name, BATH, we decided to go into the BATHroom business with the promise that this will not happen to another bride and groom.

Bathrooms on a Roll was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, they were very easy to get ahold of, professional, and personable, making the entire process a breeze. Their attention to detail and the quality of their restrooms was truly impressive. They were readily available throughout the planning process, and we were thrilled with how seamlessly they contributed to making our special day perfect. We will definitely be using Bathrooms on a Roll again in the future!

After a decade of photographing weddings in and around Baltimore, I have grown to absolutely love what this city has to offer. While I am a transplant to Baltimore (go Wolverines!) how close we are to EVERYTHING is just fantastic! That's one of the main reasons I love being a Baltimore wedding photographer - there is something for everyone here. No matter where it is, each wedding is both timeless and unique to the couple.

We enjoyed using Tyler Reith as our photographer for our wedding. He did an amazing job taking photos of our wedding as well as our engagement photos. He did a wonderful job of using his artistic eye to take beautiful photos. After the wedding, he spent about 3 hours helping us pick photos to create our wedding album. I highly recommend using Tyler for your wedding.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

Hey there, I'm Gaige! I'm a free-spirited digital and film photographer based in DE (but California born and raised) I am the person that finds myself going through my camera roll at 2am reminiscing and experiencing nostalgia with old photos- that is the type of feeling I want you to have when looking at your final gallery- 5, 10, 20 years from now. Being a lover of little moments, such as a passing glance between you and your spouse, to the big aisle kiss, I am truly here for all of it!

Gaige was the perfect photographer for our wedding day! She really valued how we wanted to stay in the moment throughout the day, but she still captured every moment beautifully. Her booking process. was easy, and she reached out multiple times prior to our day to make sure we were on the same page about all the details. We opted for film coverage- and did NOT regret it! All the photos came out so beautiful and we will cherish them forever.

There are many things that can go wrong in your wedding, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Elizabeth Kane Photography was one thing that was absolutely the BEST CHOICE we made for our Disney wedding! From beginning to end, Elizabeth was not only working as our photographer but was also making sure we developed a friendship to further build trust that we were in amazing hands. She traveled all the way from California to Orlando for our wedding and even went above and beyond her "behind the lens" duty to help with other areas of our wedding day! Honestly, long story short, words cannot describe how grateful we were (still are) that we chose Elizabeth for our wedding day. It was seriously the best day ever and she captured everything so perfectly; now, we'll have it all beautifully captured forever.

Hi hello, I'm Devon! My pronouns are they/them, I change my hair a lot, and I've been a full-time photographer since 2011. Behind the camera I craft images that show the heart and soul of the fabulous people, places, and things I’m working with. When not photographing you’ll find me swing dancing, road tripping, or curled up at home with a book in one hand and mug of tea in the other.

Devon was delightful to work with throughout our entire engagement and wedding processes. We loved working with Devon because of the way they took the time to get to know us, which allowed them to showcase our quirks and love for each other as a couple and the joy among our wedding guests in every photo. Devon is an excellent photographer for people who are shy in front of a camera. Rather than just posing us, Devon used a relaxed, conversational approach and creative tricks to help us naturally settle into smiles and body language that truly make our photos look like us. We could honestly feel Devon’s excitement to celebrate our love through their work. Devon was clear, supportive, and transparent throughout every step of the planning process, from pricing to developing a photo list and schedule of events for the day. They were responsive and easy to talk to, and they returned our photos promptly. We can’t recommend Devon enough, and we can’t wait for our next opportunity to work with them again!

Aleyna Rentz Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $386
  • Serves Shady Side, MD

I’m Aleyna, a South Georgia native who’s been living in Baltimore for the past five years. I’ve always loved photography — in fact, I got my first 35mm camera when I was nine years old. I’ve since graduated from light leaks and lens smudges to DSLR and, now, mirrorless photography. Professionally, I’ve shot photos for the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, the Georgia Southern University Honors College, and for various weddings and events as a freelance photographer. My travel photos have been used widely across the internet, and I've been featured in an F-Stop Magazine group exhibition.

Truly there are not enough nice things to say about Aleyna!!!! First of all, I really appreciated how transparent her prices were. It's all there on zola and her website. Nothing hidden or sneaky or added on later - her prices are not only exactly as advertised but criminally reasonable. When it comes to something like an engagement shoot (which is what we hired Aleyna for), she was able to capture the ideal balance between staying true to her own style as a photographer and achieving the vision we had in mind for our photos. She met us at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore and it felt both like a professional photo shoot and like a fun afternoon at my favorite museum. She followed us around, chatted with us, and captured a ridiculous amount of high-quality photos. And the photos... the photos!!!!! Seriously they came out like artwork! When I first looked at them I felt like I should be looking at them in the museum! She gave us so many perfect, stunning photos that were even better than the Pinterest board I showed her. Originally I planned on selecting a few stand out photos from the shoot and keeping the rest digital, but she did such a fabulous amazing show-stopping incredible job that I plan on making them into a photo book and using it as a guest book for the wedding. My Maid of Honor is using them as decor for the bridal shower. They're all over the website. People who see them GASP! TL;DR I am obsessed with the photos that Aleyna gave me and going forward will be hiring her anytime I need a photographer (don't mind me just googling excuses to hire a photographer). Please book Aleyna immediately and never look back!!!!!!!!

Greetings and salutaion! I am a blue haired, tattooed geek girl wedding planner with a love of dragonflies & offbeat events! I have also been wedding planning since 2004. I haven't met a DIY project I can't wait to try, a scrapbook page I didn't want to make, or a cosplay idea I didn't want to put together. Watching all the different elements come together to make something come alive is fantastic. I approach all my events the same way. Helping a client pull together all of their puzzle pieces to make an event that is uniquely theirs is the best feeling!

Our wedding was going to be so simple, if you ask my husband. Tee-shirts. Taco truck. American Legion. Guests. Done. Even he had to thank Fran profusely for all of her foresight, thoughtful touches, and management skills. This was a second wedding for both with kids and exes on both sides. It went off flawlessly, thanks to Fran. Our wedding ceremony and reception were on consecutive days. She printed and framed ceremony pics to display at the reception. She kept an eye on tipsy guests and let us know about potential issues. She found seats for the guests who I had carelessly left off the seating chart. She picked up, deployed, and returned the table cloths and had special little decorations for our table. I couldn't possibly list all the things she did to make the day run smoothly and to make us feel cared for and loved. Thank you Fran. You almost make me want to do it all over again.

I am so fortunate that Yin and I found each other on a wedding thread and I was able to see some of his work and book him for my wedding. If you are looking for a true artist that will capture raw and genuine emotion, look no further. Not only can you feel it when you see his work, but he also made the whole planning process and the day of my wedding that much more special. Yin is not only incredibly talented but also an organized professional, great communicator and a gentle, calming soul who brings the right energy to every moment. I have only had the chance to see my sneak peak photos and my husband (ahh!) and I were literally obsessed with each and every one. Being the type of people who do not do well with all eyes on us and are generally awkward in posed photos, we simply could not choose a “favorite” as every one of them held a special memory or captured a raw moment. I literally feel like I fell more in love with our love story after seeing our photos of nervousness, excitement, joy, bliss and emotions. He is truly a storyteller and his 2nd shooter Catherine did just as phenomenal of a job. It is truly wedding vendors like Yin that make dreams come true on this huge milestone. I just can’t stop raving! I literally plan to hire Yin for any and every future event!!! Thank you, Yin for capturing my wedding story and making our day so special. You are so gifted and I am so lucky we crossed paths!

He was fantastic! He developed a questionnaire where I filled in songs that were near and dear to me and my husband. And It was such a delight to hear some songs that were favorites of mine being played during dinner. He made sure to pay close attention to detail. In general, the wedding was a blast everyoneeee had a great time. He made sure to play something for everyone. You will not be disappointed in hiring him.

Kristin was so easy to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. She regularly checked in with us via email and Zoom meetings to make sure that we were staying on track throughout the planning process. She was able to recommend so many amazing vendors for us and helped to narrow down our options. She has so much experience and has worked with so many of the vendors, which made the planning even more seamless. As we got closer to the wedding date I felt confident that Kristin was communicating with my vendors to make sure set up went smoothly. I had ZERO stress the day of my wedding because of Kristin!! I would highly recommend her to anyone.
